Born in 1955 in Oran, Jean-Marc Foussat created several ephemeral experimental groups in the mid-70s. He first played the guitar, before preferring the analog synthesizer and magnetic tapes.
At the end of the 70s he began recording improvised music concerts and collaborated with labels like Incus, Hat Hut, Rec Rec, Celluloid …
In ’81, he finished « Abattage », his first solo album. Ten years later, he returns to the stage with the group Marteau Rouge, accompanied by Makoto Sato on drums and Jean-François Pauvros on electric guitar. In 2005 he started Aliquid, with saxophonist Sylvain Guerineau, and little by little, will play more and more regularly with many improvised music actors in France and elsewhere.
At the end of 2012 he launched his label Fou Records.
